Question

Samuel loses 8% on selling a clock for 1150. At what price did Samuel buy the same clock?

Answer 1

Answer:

1250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price that Samuel bought the clock be "x"

So we get following Equation,

x * ((100-8)/100) = 1150

x * (92/100) = 1150

x = 1150 * 100 / 92

x = 1250
